Dark Extraction Change

[Ohsirus3]

Anyone know when and why Warshade Essences no longer carry human form buffs over? I only started replaying Warshades and noticed they die a heck faster than I remembered and notice they don’t carry Eclipse over.

They never did, they always die fast if you aren't careful with your placement in the fight.

[PluckySidekick]

They have 0% Defense and 0% Resist.

 

You can boost these slightly with Pet IO Sets but not by much.

Pretty sure they get Mire. My WS isn't high enough for Eclipse yet.

[Nayeh01]

They get Mires, Inspirations, Incarnates (Alpha and Interface), Buffs (Except Toggles and Eclipse.... lol)

[Microcosm]

They get mire as mentioned. A long time ago they used to get eclipse as well, but that disappeared at some point, leaving them as one of the squishiest pets on the block. Since a large part of a Warshades damage comes from these guys it would be really nice to get that back. When they did inherit it they also inherited the duration, so if you had ten seconds left on mire, the pet you summon at that point also had ten seconds left on it, which feels appropriate for balance. Would also be nice to get them to not close to melee since they have all ranged attacks...

This. Eclipse would be nice, but this would make tanking for them much less frustrating.

Yeah I recall them being labeled floating tanks. It seems they inherited the photon seekers logic.

I remember on Live getting enough recharge to get three fluffies out. Now I'm lucky to get the first one to live long enough to have two.

Photon Seekers seems what they've been turned into.

With enough recharge you can still get out two at the same time. But it's a VERY high level of recharge needed. (Mine has 180% total recharge)

 

Also for the thread, on live, I don't remember them ever being all that tanky, just floating fluff balls that blasteed.

I . . . don't remember them being tanky. At all.

 

More like floating blasters that were squishy than blasters.

I'm pretty sure at one point they did inherent Eclipse, not sure for how long.
